What is the meaning of the name Rokuzo ?

The baby name Rokuzo is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced roh-KOO-zoh (Rokuzō) — IPA: [ɾokɯzoː].

Rokuzo is Japanese in Origin.

Rokuzo is a Japanese masculine given name built from roku (“six”) and the male name element zō/zo. Depending on the kanji, its sense ranges from numeric to occupational shades: common writings include 六蔵 (“six + storehouse”), 六造 (“six + create/build”), and 六三 (a nanori where 三 reads zō in names), so meanings can be read as “sixth storehouse,” “sixth maker,” or simply “the sixth.” Pronunciation typically has a long final vowel, Rokuzō.

The numeral-plus-suffix pattern was popular from the Edo through early Shōwa eras, especially among merchant and artisan families, and Rokuzo now feels vintage yet sturdy. Usage has declined in contemporary Japan but appears in period fiction and families favoring retro names. Variants include Rokuzō (with macron), Rokuzou (long vowel spelled ou), and the simplified Rokuzo; diminutives include Roku or Zō. Related names with the numeric base are Rokurō (“sixth son”) and, broadly, -zō names like Shinzō or Kōzō.
